Sorscha 1 vs. Butcher 3 - Steamroller 2016 Khador vs. Khador

I needed a little more practice with my Steamroller 2 list pairing so I decided to pit the sweetest MK3 casters in Khador against each other in an all out bare knuckled brawl to see who would come out on top.

Sorcha 1 

Warcaster: Sorcha 1
Warcaster Attachment: Reinholdt
Warjack: Behemoth
Warjack: Destroyer
Battle Engine: War Wagon
Unit: Rifle Corps
Unit Weapon Attachment: Rocketeer x3
Unit: Widowmakers
Solo: Marksman
Solo: Kovnik Joe
Solo: Eiyriss 1

Butcher 3

Warcaster: Butcher 3
Warcaster Attachment: Reinholdt
Warjack: Ruin
Warjack: Kodiak
Warjack: Juggernaut
Unit: Kayazy Assassins
Unit Attachment: Kayazy Underboss
Unit: Nyss Hunters
Unit Attachment: Valachev
Solo: Orin Midwinter

This game went a lot faster than I thought. I got greedy with Butcher 3 and tried to dominate the zone on the bottom of 2 and tank it out but he just can't hang vs. Sorscha's assassination threat.

On the top of 3, Sorscha had LOS to Butcher 3 and popped feat. Behemoth, a Destroyer, and some Winter Guard Rocketeers unleashed a barrage of shots and took him out.

I usually run a Bokur with Butcher 3 but thought the 3 Heavies would be enough to screen vs. most lists. Arching Fire bypassed all the Jacks and was able to seal the deal.

Warcaster Attachment: Madelyn Corebeau
Warjack: Ruin
Warjack: Juggernaut
Unit: Doomreavers
Unit: Doomreavers
Unit: Greylord Outriders

Solo: Fenris

Solo: Man-O-War Drakhun

Solo: Orin Midwinter

End of Turn 2: Sorscha Feats and takes out many Doomreavers and wipes out the Greylord Outriders with the Rifle Corps. Vlad 3 and his army try and get into position for nex turn. Vlad 3 Scores 1 victory point and leads 1-0.

End of Turn 3: Battle Engine Contests Vlad 3's zone and the Riflemen + Rocketeers are able to finish off Ruin. Vlad 3's Juggernaut is able to contest. Still 1-0 Vlad 3

End of Turn 4: Sorscha's army is able to bring down Fenris and all but 1 Doomreaver which Toughs. They also take out the Dragoon. Vlad 3's Army is able to take out the objective bringing them to 2 points for a 2-0 lead.

End of Turn 5: Sorcha clears almost eveything off the left side  (including that Juggernaut) except for 1 pesky Doomreaver which is contesting. Vlad 3 is able to kill the Battle Engine and with Madelyn Corbeau and Wind Wall, he is very safe from assassination. Orin Midwinter takes out 2 Riflemen. Score is 3-0 Vlad 3.

End of Turn 6: After clearing Orin Midwinter and Corebeau with some good deviations, Sorcha sends all of her Riflemen to the corners of the zone to give Vlad 3 a hard time clearing it for the win. She is also able to clear out her friendly zone on her turn to put the score at 3-1. Vlad 3 is able to kill a bunch of Rifleman and 2 Rocketeers which boosts his ARM for the round. He is unable to clear the zone and contest the other so the score is now 3-2 Vlad 3.

End of Turn 7: Sorcha moves up and starts to collect points. She's now at 4 which makes it almost unwinnable for Vlad 3. Vlad's only chance was to clear the zone or run into the enemy zone and score 2 for the win but it was just too far away.

End of Turn 8: Sorcha moves in for the kill, gets a crit stationary but still fails to finish of Vlad. It doesn't matter since Warcasters can't contest zones. Sorscha goes up 6-3 to win.
